Introduce your class to the order of operations. Included here is a reading passage that explains the concepts and provides an example and five related questions for individuals to answer.

The LCM will be your new BFF. Learners review least common multiple and least common denominator applications, mostly on fractions, from middle school. Scholars then see how the LCM can be applied to various types of problems from...

Simplification is about factoring. While working with rational expressions, pupils must know how to factor. The video shows how the process of finding common factors in algebraic fractions is similar to finding common factors in...

Learners identify the right number "ingredients" to add to their pot of "soup" given a rule that you provide. Whether you are covering even and odd numbers or equivalent expressions, the number soup can be an easy way for learners...

Crime doesn't pay, but everyone can learn from it. Learners consider different situations involving mischief at a school, such as stink bombs and rockets, and analyze them using mathematics. They must apply trigonometry, quadratic...

In this rational and fractional expressions activity, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include simplifying various types of expressions. They simplify into simplest form each of the listed equations, including both rational...

In this integers instructional activity, 9th graders solve 16 different types of problems that include writing an integer to represent statements, arranging integers from least to greatest, and using integers to write mathematical...

Pre-algebra pupils need to understand that two expressions are only equal if they have the same value. Show them that once the expression is multiplied by a number, the value of the expression changes. It makes for a good lead-in to...

Students listen to a book read to them by their teacher and express the amount of money stated with their manipulative of play money and show different ways to express that amount of money.

Halfway through the module — the perfect time for an assessment. The 18th installment of a 36-part series is a mid-module assessment. Scholars provide evidence of understanding through various mathematical and contextual problems.

You know 4 + 4 + 4 = 3(4), but what about x + x + x? Pairs work together to develop equivalent expressions relating multiplication and addition in the third lesson plan of a 36-part series. They extend their knowledge of multiplication...

(vegetable)^(1/2) = root vegetable? The fourth installment of a 35-part module has scholars extend properties of exponents to rational exponents to solve problems. Individuals use these properties to rewrite radical expressions in...

When did letters become the same as numbers? Scholars learn about substituting numbers for letters to evaluate algebraic expressions in the seventh part in a series of 36. The lesson focuses on expressions related to geometry, such as...

It is up to the learner to find the amount of juice originally in a bottle, knowing what fraction of the juice is left, and the amount that has been consumed. The accompanying commentary provides a useful and detailed description of...

The properties of exponents are all linked together and it is your mathematicians' job to discover and apply those rules. The comprehensive activity begins with a pre-assessment task to check for prior knowledge and then goes into a...

Starting a year of Algebra I? This mighty packet practices all of the major topics with different ranges of difficulty. Standards include everything from linear to quadratic to rational expressions. Use it in a...

This jumbo worksheet contains everything you need to get through Pre-Algebra. Begin with simple expressions, and end with linear functions and polygons. There are multiple problems for each topic to make sure those skills are set. 

Sixth graders study the concepts of area and dimensions. In this area and dimensions lesson, 6th graders work in pairs to complete the handout included that illustrates ways to represent various numbers. Students also determine what...

In this algebra worksheet, students learn how to evaluate algebraic expressions using the order of operations. They then solve 12 problems using what they learned.

For this mathematics test book, students answer problems dealing with topics covered during the year. They solve problems dealing with percent, probability, properties, and interpreting graphs. This sixteen page worksheet contains...

In this order of operations worksheet, students evaluate each of the 22 expression on the page using the order of operations. The problems start easy and gradually get more difficult.

In this variable expression activity, students solve one and two-step variable expressions containing negative numbers and fractions. This one-page activity contains ten problems.

Written to assess high schoolers' knowledge of interpreting expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context, this machine-scored task also allows for a good discussion about units guiding the problem solving and solution.

Your statisticians will see that an expression is made up of one or more parts that can be seen as a single entity. Learners give an explanation, in terms of the structure. of the expression and, why it halves in value when n is quadrupled.
